Pat McAfee joining ESPN's College GameDay full time
Multimedia host and star Pat McAfee will join ESPN's College GameDay as a full-time member, ESPN announced Wednesday.
The 35-year-old, who's made cameos on the pregame show over the past few years, will join a panel that features Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, David Pollack, and Lee Corso.
McAfee will be on set ahead of Saturday's marquee matchup between Alabama and Texas. The ESPN broadcast will go toe to toe with Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff," which will also be in Austin, Texas.
He'll continue to host his daily talk show and remain as a commentator for WWE's "SmackDown" on Friday nights, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
McAfee also agreed to do alternative broadcasts of select college football games on ESPN2.
The West Virginia product spent eight seasons in the NFL as a punter for the Indianapolis Colts where he earned two Pro Bowl nods and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2014.
